Know before you buy
This chair is upholstered in genuine top-grain leather. As a used item in good condition, you can expect minor cosmetic blemishes consistent with normal wear, but the material remains structurally sound.
Yes, the Markus features a built-in tilt mechanism that allows you to lean back comfortably. You can adjust the tension to match your weight and preference.
The chair features a pneumatic height-adjustment lever located under the seat. This allows you to easily customize the seat height to ensure your feet rest flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
The armrests on this model are fixed and do not offer height or width adjustments. They are designed to provide stable support at a standard ergonomic height.
The chair comes with standard casters designed for mobility. If you are using it on hardwood or delicate flooring, you may want to consider a chair mat to prevent potential scuffing over time.
